Neuroimaging MPhil/PhD
The Centre for Neuroimaging Sciences is an extremely friendly place to study, small enough that I could easily get involved in the academic and social aspects of the department, whilst at the same time having fantastic experimental facilities and opportunities to learn from a large number of specialists with diverse areas of expertise.

My supervisors are incredibly supportive; weekly meetings give me the opportunity to discuss my progress, but perhaps more importantly, talk through the work I have been struggling with. They also support and encourage my participation in the wider academic community, with the department providing the support I needed to present my work at several national and international conferences.

Alongside my formal supervision I have benefited greatly from the advice of other PhD students, post docs and more senior academics from across the department who are always happy to help.
